Been plodding along quietly building this for a friend.

Lots of brass, schumo, aber and 3d printed bits.
Hope you like my progress

A very attractive hybrid, Adam, that is already packed with great potential It's also an optimal 'pic'n'mix' of bespoke tank parts and components

Unlimited potential on this great looking build, Adam. This will be interesting. Those brackets add a very nice tough, Nicely done.
